Certainly plausible, I've never heard of the Shearwater Canal

Trouble is it's not a joke, there are loads of these nutters out there.

You lot are all wrong about the weather and climate, according to the online conspiracy theorists, it's all down to chemtrails with Goverments around the world loading up airliners with chemicals that they spray out as the travel, this is causing clouds, bad weather. They even post picture evidence of the spraying. They don't seem to be able to grasp how corrosive that Dihydrogen Monoxide is that forms those vapour trails.

It's similar with the drawings that I do at work, letter issues are provisional & I can go through quite a few lettesr before it gets to issue 1 released for construction & even then it still changes.

Watch out for the wasps as well, camping there one year they invaded as soon as the tent was opened in the morning, Scottish friends jokingly said their wasps attacked in squadrons.

Don't let the weather put you off, Castle Urquhart in the rain, the spray caused by the heavy rain on the Loch made the rainbow.

What is the canal?

There's nothing at all wrong with that song by Smokie, but the audience is suspect, and you can thank Chubby Brown for that.

The Beeb have called them bargees as well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-68694486

A long time since I did the Caldon, the boat I'd hired I didn't trust going through Froghall tunnel so mored up by the works and walked.

I had heard qouted from historians that they knew building of the Caledonian canal was too late for it's original purpose but it was continued to keep the workforce going.

They will be making a mess of railways next week

Yes definately for the public not for nerds, the Ellesmere (Langollen) canal history was a tad off as well.

We seem to have a new canal engineer though, anyone else heard of John Brindley, maybe James twin?
